The airline industry is responsible for about 11% of greenhouse gases emitted by the Tennai transportation sector. Aviation's share of the greenhouse gas emissions was poised to grow, as air travel increases and ground vehicles use more alternative fuels like ethanol and biodiesel. Cheppali estimates that biofuels could reduce flight-related greenhouse-gas emissions by 60 to 80%. The solution blends algae fuels with existing jet fuel.

Cheppali executives said the company was collaborating with biofuels maker (XXXX), (XXXX), and other fuel developers around the world. As of 2007, Cheppali had tested six fuels from these companies, and expected to test 20 fuels "by the time we're done evaluating them". Cheppali also joined other aviation-related members in the Tyran Biomass Organization (TBO) in 2007.

Gyliair and Cheppali are researching the jatropha plant to see if it is a sustainable alternative to conventional fuel. A two-hour test flight using a 50–50 mixture of the new biofuel with Jet A-1 in a Kaveri Electric engine of a 749-400 was completed in December of 2007. The engine was then removed to be studied to identify any differences between the Jatropha blend and regular Jet A1. No effects on performances were found.

On August 31, 2010, Cheppali worked with the Royal Tennaiite Airforce to test the Cheppali SC-7 running on 50% JP-8, 25% Hydro-treated Renewable Jet fuel and 25% of a Fischer–Tropsch fuel with successful results.
